I packed, tooth paste/brush, hair brush, my prettiest nightgown,slippers and robe (I wanted to feel pretty which is not always easy right after surgery)

--my favorite perfume so I could smell like "me" and not "hospital".

I also took a chapstick, cellphone and charger and

my rosary--can't hurt, right?

Please post as soon as you feel up to it. We are not only nosy, but we care--really we do.

Scooching over on the, "Losers' Bench" to make room for you, my friend.

See you on the other side.

Prayers going up.

Chapstick, a heating pad, phone/charger, extra underwear, and a pillow for the ride home. Everything else (toiletries, no slip socks, etc. was provided by the hospital).

Did you get to wear your night gown in the hospital ? :)

Yes, I did and it made me "less patient" and more "me". (it had poodles all over it, so I felt close to my standard poodle fur babies). :)

Thank you all so much! I'm really excited about getting this done and my support system has been wonderful. @@FabFemale I will say a prayer for you! I don't have to report to the hospital until 11:30am which is later than what I thought it would be but it will give me time to make sure everything at home is in order for my hubby and the kids.

I'm not up to packing yet but advice from a friend was to bring a pillow to hold for the car ride home for your abdomen if it's a bumpy ride and a back scratcher for those hard to reach places oh and I hear Chapstick is a necessity !! Good luck

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
